Live Results: Florida Senate midterm election

Key Points:

• Florida Republicans aim to maintain statewide dominance in the 2026 elections, with key races for Senate, governor, and legislative offices under a new congressional map favoring GOP control of the House.
• Former Republican David Jolly is the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, facing Republican Rep. Byron Donalds, who has strong support from former President Trump; Donalds could become Florida's first Black governor if elected.
• Republican Sen. Ashley Moody is defending her Senate seat against Democrat Angie Nixon, a democratic socialist, and an independent candidate; Nixon could become Florida's first Black U.S. senator.
• New congressional boundaries heavily favor Republicans by eliminating four districts previously held by Democrats, putting incumbents like Kathy Castor, Darren Soto, and Jared Moskowitz at risk.
• Key battleground counties include Hillsborough, Pinellas, Duval, and Miami-Dade, with early and absentee voting expected to comprise about 65% of the total vote; polls close at 7 p.m. local time, and the AP will declare winners only when outcomes are certain.
